Who in the NFL is discussing this? Remember, they're "only concerned with the health of Hamlin."

Competition committee voted last night. Owners today. The league and NFLPA have all been in on the conversation.

My utmost respect for them to fight through their existential despair at watching this young man nearly lose his life. Thinking about money and their livelihoods at a time like that must have been all but impossible. I know I wouldn't have been able to do it. I would still be in a fetal position if I were them, maybe in need of an IV feeding tube. Because I'm a good person.

I promise you, he will want to play again.
And the NFL would be nuts to let him even try.

I'm curious why you say that. Not arguing, just curious.

Because health issues and how much the NFL does about them, are an existential risk to the business.

Presuming this was the result of an extremely fluke set of events/timing, he should be able to play again, similar to Eriksen (soccer) or others who nearly died on-field because of the heart.
That being said, if I were him I wouldn't want to risk it. Hopefully he's already made enough money to be set for 10+ years.

Good news. He is one lucky human.

Luck? Yes. Whether it’s good or bad is the question. That hit happens 1 millisecond earlier and he’s probably fine.

@Mik True, didn't realize he was so new
The value of that 4 year contract is worth just under half of the value of his Go Fund Me in the last 4 days.
He can afford to take some time off.

CNN: "The league held a special virtual meeting with all 32 team owners or their designee on Friday to determine possible playoff scenarios now that two teams, the Bills and Bengals, will have played fewer regular season games than the rest of the league.
The NFL owners approved the unique plan to host the AFC Championship game at a neutral site if the participating teams played an unequal number of games and both teams could have been a potential top seed if the Bills-Bengals game had been played to its conclusion.
The owners also approved a plan to use a coin flip to determine the home field for a possible Wild Card round game between the Bengals and Baltimore Ravens.
The scenarios vote needed at least 24 of the 32 owners to approve the resolutions to pass."
